Tomorrow two more of our grandchildren arrive from Birmingham for the weekend …I miss them so much …..nothing can ever replace the joy of being a grandparent but most of all nothing can take it away …because when your a grandparent you have seen it,done it, worn it,and got to the stage that whatever life throws at you the only thing that matters is the child ….. As a parent I never got to grips with this philosophy but other grandparents we come across tell me this is the learning curve of life and that in the fullness of time we all come to terms with the fact that children are our future and that nothing else really matters xxgrandad
